Fox orders 'Outnumbered' remake

The network has greenlit a pilot for the new series from writers Barbara Wallace and Thomas R. Wolfe, according to Deadline.

The project will be "inspired" by the British original, created by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin.

Fox previously attempted to adapt Outnumbered during the 2007-08 development season. A pilot was produced, written by Larry Levin and starring Ken Marino and Brooke Bloom, but did not receive a series commission.

Wallace and Wolfe will executive produce the new remake, alongside Peter Chernin, Katherine Pope and Jimmy Mulville. The pilot will be produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Chernin Entertainment and British company Hat Trick Productions.
